  • Does PHPA affect the viscosity of water based fluids?
  • Due to its high molecular weight, PHPA quickly viscosifies with increased concentrations. The use of PHPA in drilling fluid formulation will affect its viscosity. A rheological study on PHPA in water is sufficient to know the influence of PHPA on the viscosity of water-based fluids.
  • Can KCl and Peg improve shale hot rolling recovery?
  • The shale hot rolling recovery results of water-based drilling fluids with different inhibitors are shown in Fig. 14. KCl and PEG improved the cutting recovery of the drilling fluids, indicating that both KCl and PEG can improve inhibition properties of water-based drilling fluids.
  • Why does KCl/PHPA reduce shale dispersion?
  • The combination of KCl/PHPA gives the low shale dispersion amount; this is due to PHPA's encapsulation role and K + cation swelling inhibition mechanism. For example, the formulation (F) with 4 ppb PHPA and 3% KCl gives the lower mass loss of shale particles which are weakly dispersed in shale erosion test. Fig. 6.
  • What are the optimal KCl and Peg concentrations for drilling fluid design?
  • This method can help to quickly determine the optimal concentrations of PEG and KCl, which provides important information for drilling fluid design. For the studied Na-Mt, the optimized KCl and PEG concentrations are 5% and 7%, respectively.
